Availability
Rafael Lantigua has signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. The deal includes an invite to spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Lantigua has spent all eight of his professional seasons in the minor leagues, most of which came in the Blue Jays' organization. Last year, he played for Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the Phillies' organization and batted .230 with seven home runs and 17 stolen bases in 125 games. The middle infielder is a career .270 hitter with 46 home runs and 130 stolen bases in 806 career minor league games. Lantigua will likely start the year in Triple-A Toledo.
Rafael Lantigua has elected free agency after clearing waivers on Thursday. The 27-year-old, who has yet to make his big-league debut, spent a brief period with the Phillies organization in 2025 but did not appear in an MLB game.
Fantasy Impact
Lantigua played in 125 games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2025, where he slashed .231/.357/.331. He contributed seven home runs, 57 RBI, 82 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases. He will likely have to settle for another minor-league deal this offseason.
The Philadelphia Phillies optioned Rafael Lantigua to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Lantigua is returning to Triple-A after a three-day stint with the Phillies, during which he did not record a plate appearance. In a corresponding move, Alec Bohm (shoulder) was activated from the injured list.
The Philadelphia Phillies selected Rafael Lantigua's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
With Edmundo Sosa (groin) placed on the injured list, Lantigua will take his spot on the active roster. Lantigua posted a .232/.359/.333 slash line with 17 stolen bases in 124 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season, and will provide the Phillies with much-needed infield depth.
The Phillies have reassigned Rafael Lantigua to minor-league camp.
Fantasy Impact
Lantigua posted a .182 average, with one home run, and five RBI in 22 at-bats this spring. The 26-year-old will remain in the organization as a depth option for the Phillies.
